The integration of qualitative and quantitative research is a defining, yet often underdeveloped, feature of mixed methods research. Meaningful integration is needed to generate new insights, called meta-inferences, that comprise the key results. This workshop will focus on designing a mixed methods study to achieve meaningful integration. We will review levels of integration, key considerations, and how to avoid pitfalls.
